Its chief outward identifier has been its yellow awning. Friends telling friends about the place are apt to call it the Garden Club, the free-standing Deco building long called that and now home to Eggsotic.

Others have found their way via Eggsotic’s popular sister location on West Palm Beach’s Okeechobee Boulevard, which Venezuelan-born Espin brothers Leonardo (a former Breakers chef) and Luis (a former corporate exec) opened in 2007.

But Eggsotic at the Garden Club, as it’s now known, is casting a wider net with an upcoming open-to-the-public official christening, of sorts, and a preview of its new dinner menu, which goes into effect April 1.

Next Thursday (March 25) at 7 p.m., the bistro is featuring a flamenco guitarist, flamenco dancers and an opportunity to taste the new dinner menu’s fare for a one-night-only price of around $6-$12 a dish, according to Leonardo “Leo” Espin.

Eggsotic also is open for breakfast and lunch. In fact, its omelets, “Banana Blast” pancakes, “Eggsotic Benedicts” (with everything from Norwegian salmon to duck breast), specialty crepes, salads, panini and other morning and mid-day offerings are what made its West Palm location a place where you might have to wait for a table during peak times.
